About the Event

You’ll enjoy the low-traffic, gently rolling roads of Union County, on the way to historic covered bridges. Four different routes are available, from approximately 20 to 70 miles.

Big Darby Scenic Byway

All routes include sections of the Big Darby Plains Scenic Byway, featuring historic covered bridges, century farms, cemeteries, homes of interest, and access to Big Darby Creek, a National and State designated “Scenic Waterway”. By all accounts this is some of Ohio’s most beautiful countryside!

Supported Stops

A rest stop featuring healthy snacks will be located at the end of the North Lewisburg Trail.
